By the way, which is the most usable Linux phone at a reasonable price?

#linuxmobile

@techsaviours OnePlus 6 with postmarketos or Pixel 3a with UbuntuTouch if you need camera

@Lioh

Thanks!

I forgot to mention camera. Thats important too. Doesn't need to be a 1892890190 mega pixel camera but just a picture of a sunset for example would be nice.

So...
- camera
- battery (20% at 8pm)
- calls
- text messages
- browser (search and read here and there)
- matrix

Does linux need to come pre-installed?
If so, you are looking at the pinephone or the librem5.
The price of the librem5 might place it out of reach, but there is a night and day difference between it and the pinephone for usability.

@jlcrawf @techsaviours @lolgzs @justin @Lioh What is the battery live on Librem 5? PinePhone cas stay few days in suspend...

@pavel @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin
If I remember right, last year when I went kayaking, I left itin suspend for asbout 8 hours and it wss down to around 40-45%. Since it is my daily driver, I don't usually leave it in suspend that long.
Light usage, it will last most of the day.
I keep a charger at the house and office, as well as in my jeep and backpack so that I always have one wherever I go.

@jlcrawf @techsaviours @lolgzs @Lioh @justin Ok, so that is a big difference to PinePhone. Its battery life is not great, but I estimate it can do 48 hours in such a light use.

It has been over a year since I used the pinephone, but usability on the Librem was vastly improved over the pinephone when I moved over. Call quality on the pinephone made it virtually unusable as a phone a year ago.
